2. Read This First
 The following notes apply to a new installation. Read this section before proceeding.
 The JPI warranty found in the back of the pilots guide clearly states that JPI will replace defective parts under
warranty, but does NOT cover labor to remove or install any parts.
 The most common cause of probe problems is poor terminal crimps. Crimp ring terminals with AMP tool or
equivalent. Fold back the wire double before crimping terminals.
 This installation will require some parts unique to your aircraft that are not supplied with the kit, (including but not
limited to tie-wraps, hoses and fittings). Acquire all the necessary parts prior to beginning the installation.
 Do not use aluminum fittings or Teflon tape or pipe sealant with the FXT-201 or FXT-231 fuel flow transducer.
 Write down the K-factor engraved on the side of the fuel flow transducer here _______. Once the transducer is
installed and covered with the fire sleeve, you will not be able to access this K factor.
 Determine the locations of all holes before drilling to ensure that nothing interferes with the probe, clamp, clamp
screw or wire.
 Provide service loops at the instrument so that it can be moved for maintenance or troubleshooting.
 Thermocouple wire length is not critical. Trim to required length, allowing for service loops at the engine so that
probes can be swapped with probes on adjacent cylinders for troubleshooting purposes.
 Dress all wires away from high temperature components such as exhaust stacks.
 Never splice thermocouple wire using copper wire. Use only K-type thermocouple wire. Solder using zinc chloride
flux such as Nokorode brand – rosin flux alone won’t work.
 Observe correct polarity on all probe wires. Connect like colors together (red to red, yellow to yellow).
 The DAU EDM-950 must be grounded at the engine, not at the avionics ground.
 Record the installation of the EDM-960 on a FAA form 337. Make an entry in the aircraft logbook.
